- A #Ranomafana National Park favourite ❤️🔥 Male red-bellied #lemurs are characterized by their striking white ‘teardrop’ markings and distinct red bellies, which set them apart from the females. This species exhibits sexual dichromatism. 📸: Chloé Décobert
- A visit from CultureConnect 🎶 We were delighted to welcome 8 CultureConnect students and their 2 chaperones at #CVB. This program provides American high school students with an immersive experience in #biodiversity #conservation, scientific #research & community development.
- A symbol of Ranomafana National Park 🍂 The satanic leaf-tailed gecko is certainly one of the most sought-out animals of the central tropical rainforests of Madagascar. Due to its remarkable resemblance to dry leaves, it is also one of the hardest to spot. 📸: Haoyu Zhang
- The dividing of the rice 🍚 It’s thanks to dedicated expedition cooks like Maro that our research teams are able to continue their work in the heart of the #Malagasy #rainforest. Thank you to all our hardworking field staff. Without them, #research would simply not be possible.
